Emergency couple of nappies under the mattress for the (first and only) time you forget to restock your change bag. A cunning tip all of my very own as I'd used the nappies to lift the end of the mattress when DD had a cold.

The feeling of relief was immense when I remembered that they were there, after a minute of bone chilling terror and trying to think of ways to improvise a nappy when miles from the shops and home.

You will fill the basket etc up with all sorts of other shite in no time though.

A pram doesn't need a cosy toes, a buggy does (they're the sleeping bag type things that zip onto the buggy over the child's legs).

My DS is 10 weeks and I don't drive so am a pram junkie!

In the current weather I take:

In the pram itself:Sheet over mattress.Muslin for under baby's head as he is incredibly sicky.Large sheet-style muslin to fold and use as blanket or drape over pram as sun protection.Cellular blanket in case it gets a bit cold.

In the basket underneath:The pram cover.The rain cover.At least one extra muslin for said sick Shopping.

My nappy bag clips onto the push bar, which is fab as it frees up the basket underneath!
